What guitars do you have at the moment? It kind of sounds like you just have the gear bug, which helps you explore but doesn't usually end with good results. I personally would just try to get everything running properly with the existing guitars and then sell them all before buying a nicer one. But that's not going to be a popular opinion around here.
Also, what sort of amp do you have? Getting a quality amp and spending $15 for a couple of pots might yield better results.
I tend to agree with him here. And if after getting your gear in top shape, if you decide it doesn't work, sell it, and possibly allow for higher pricepoint on the new guitar/amp you seek.
One of my best guitar buds in a Carvin nut, owns three of them. I've played them and they are really well made, comfortable guitars.
